Rockman X6 (Boss Dialogue) Translated

Handsome Boiz

I have finally finished doing the boss dialogue for Rockman X6. It was actually done for a long time but I was just way too lazy to clean it up. See it HERE. I used this chance to practice spicing up the wording especially with some of the stronger personalities (Dynamo) to avoid “it can’t be helped”s and “as expected, even you as Sigma, have not fully revived”s. Not sure if there are many major differences between this and the official localization compared to older games but it was fun to do.

X6 is actually a game I really love despite its flaws and detractors so I am glad I finally got this done.

Moon: Remix RPG Adventure: Love is the Answer

Moon has been one of my holy grail games for PS1, one which I desired to own and play, but was just a tad pricey for my liking. Thanks to a surprising, but welcome announcement that Moon is coming to Switch, I finally had my chance to tear this thing open and experience it for myself.

And boy, was it worth the wait. Not totally what I was expecting, but delightfully whimsical.

Rockman X5 (cutscenes) Translated

Took longer than it should have due to procrastination, but here it be. Now can move onto X6?! Or maybe something that’s not Rockman for once?! Who knows. For now, another one done for me to look at in a few days and go “why did I write that” and change things around anyway.

Rockman Mega World Text Translation

Good day, folks. Rockman Mega World was a whacky game that included remakes of Rockman 1-3 then had you fight original bosses and a Wily Tower when all 3 were beat. It included some brief original text at this point. There’s barely anything, so it doesn’t warrant a full page, but here it is anyway.

WILY TOWER (RM1-3 Beat):

日本語 Japanese

Wily: ハッハッハ！ロックマン！！これで　おわったと　おもうなよ！

わたしは　まだ　きょうりょくなきりふだが　のこっているのだ。

この　３たいの　せんとうロボット　はおまえを　たおすために　つくられた、とくべつせい　の　ロボットだ！！

それでは　ロックマン、いきていたら　また　あおう！ハッハッハッハ！

翻訳 Translation

Wily: Hahaha! Rockman! Don’t think for a second this is over!

I still have a powerful trump card up my sleeve.

These 3 combat robots were created for the sole purpose to defeat you; they are specialized robots!!

Now, Rockman, let us meet again – if you’re still alive! Hahahaha!

DR. LIGHT LAB (Before Choosing Stage)

日本語 Japanese

Dr. Light: ロックマン！ここは　いままでにてに　いれたとくしゅぶき　と、いどうアイテム　からすきなもの　をえらんでそうび　することが　できるのじゃ！

これは　BOSS　から　てにいれたじゃ！！

よし！WEAPON　を　そうびかんりょう　じゃ！！

ロックマン！なにが　おこるか　わからない　からどれか　ひとつ　いどうアイテム　を　もって　いきなさい

翻訳 Translation

Dr. Light: Rockman! Here you can select and equip whatever you like from the special weapons and movement items that you’ve collected so far!

You got this from BOSS!

Okay! WEAPON has been equipped!

Rockman! We don’t know what’s going to happen, so take at least one of the movement items with you.

Fist of the North Star Lost Paradise: You Are Already – you know

Earlier this year the minds behind one of the most manly and greatest game series in history, Ryu ga Gotoku / Yakuza, released their take on on of the most manly and greatest pieces of entertainment in history: Hokuto no Ken / Fist of the North Star. It was going to be the most perfect combo ever since Silent Hills (RIK (Rest in Konami)). So, I got my hands on it and dived right into the world of martial arts ruling the apocalypse, men shedding tears for men, and shredded muscles around every corner.

The end result was pretty much just Yakuza-lite with a Hokuto face.

Siren: It’s an Experience

Siren had always been this game I needed to get revenge on. I had tried it on the PS2 and it kicked my ass all the way to Detroit, where horrors even worse than Siren awaited me. Then on PS3, when the remake/reimagined Siren: New Translation came out, I enjoyed the heck out of it all the way to the very last level, where my file got corrupted. It was like my fate to forever be bodyslammed by this series.

When I saw the game on the PS2 classics for PS4, I decided I would defeat the beast at long last, and end my own curse.

Rockman World 5 Arm Upgrade Added

Added a missing piece of the Rockman World 5 script, the upgraded Rock Arm for whe you die too much. It has been added to the page.

Shadow Brain: Cyberpunk Halls

Shadow Brain is a little known game made by a little known company with a stupid or awesome name (dunno yet) called Pony Canyon. I stumbled upon this homie purely through searching the Famicom library for something obscure and possibly funky. There are not many games like it on the system that aren’t called Megami Tensei, and is a game that requires a similar pain threshold – it’s hard. It also seems complex but is also a bit shallow.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Getting Owned: The Game

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a NES game whose very existance is baffling. Why does this exist? Who thought, hmmm, let’s make a game based on this old story – but not even follow the book at all? And then who decided to make it one of the most brutal games in history?

This title has some infamy thanks to the Angry Video Game Nerd who extensively raged on it, and honestly that does paint a decent picture of the game and its frustrations. But I am going to go through my personal experience, and how I have seen hell, and am a different man for it. This will probably turn super ranty, but it needs to come out while the horror is still fresh in my mind.

Bats and Terry: A Strangle Tale in a Strange Land

I know now, after completing Bats and Terry, that it is based off a manga of the same name. However, that didn’t help it make anymore sense. Instead it’s everybody’s favorite Purgatory Loop: Bats and Terry vs the Dragons of their Inner Hell.
